“It’s been hard Anthony. I’ve a photo of you three together, and it’s not being disrespectful for you, you’re on t’ end, and I bent it over because it upset me that much I couldn’t look at that photo. And it’s the only photo I’ve got of you. Even now the photograph does upset me because it brings back awful memories of what your dad did to us. I mean I’m not ashamed of the photo.
